Sorry, it is me again :wink:

When building VVenC 1.11.1 like this:

cmake -G Ninja -S my_source_dir -B my_binary_dir \
    --install-prefix my_install_dir \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=23 \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
    -DVVENC_TOPLEVEL_OUTPUT_DIRS=OFF

ninja -C my_binary_dir

# ninja -C my_binary_dir install

While vvencFFapp.pdb is installed, vvencFFapp.exe is missing from the installation directory. My last known working version is 1.7.0.

Hi Bart,

If using cmake please add -DVVENC_INSTALL_FULLFEATURE_APP=1 to the build setup step.

We stopped installing it per default because it's not intended for external use by non-video-experts somehow familiar with VTM. You of course are one.

Best, Adam

Hi Adam, thanks for the quick response. I'll add that flag to my builds.

Isn't it surprising though that vvencFFapp.pdb is installed when VVENC_INSTALL_FULLFEATURE_APP=0?

[adamjw24]

Guess we missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
